The first debate of the Kaohsiung mayoral election will be held at 8 o'clock tonight. In the first stage of the debate, each candidate will have 8 minutes to state his or her political views. Ke Zhien, the candidate for Kaohsiung mayor of the Kuomintang, said that after losing the election four years ago, the folks did not give up on themselves, and they will not give up on Kaohsiung. Kaohsiung is their hometown.

Ke Zhien said that she lost the election two years ago. The morning after she lost, she decided to stand with her fellow villagers and stay in Kaohsiung to settle down. After leaving home every day, whether it was walking or jogging, whether she was chatting with the folks in alleys or temples, it was her precious daily life in Kaohsiung.

Ke Zhien believes that municipal administration is one step after another. Starting from Wu Dunyi's tenure as mayor, it has gradually reached the current appearance of Kaohsiung. She is sure that Mayor Chen Chimai has brought the concert economy and the introduction of high technology to Kaohsiung. Although there has been a lot of applause, many industries have not been taken care of. The average salary in Kaohsiung is 26,000 yuan less, and the life expectancy is 4.1 years shorter than in Taipei. This is a problem that Kaohsiung must solve.

Ke Zhien pointed out that after she is elected, she will set up an "anti-bullying office" to take care of children and give teachers the dignity they deserve. There will also be a "high-level equality office" to help the former Kaohsiung County with tourism, transportation, and medical care, so as to guide the drone and semiconductor industries to assist the improvement of traditional industries and retain talents to earn high salaries. Only when more young people can imagine and have more expectations for the city, then this is the standard that a mayor should have.
